Italy has a reputation as a football country, and this anecdote will not weaken this reputation. A few hours before the usual closing time, the Italian Parliament formalized a decree according to which the debates had to end before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to information reported by the Huffington Post. The reason for the early closure of the Italian Parliament: the quarter-final of the Italian Cup between Lazio Rome and AS Roma. From this Roman derby, Lazio emerged victorious thanks to Zaccagni from the penalty spot.
While Defense Minister Guido Crosetto spoke earlier in the morning in the Chamber, then in Parliament, the subject of financing arms aid for kyiv was put on hold, after 1h30 of debate . To justify their decision, taken unanimously, the leaders of the different groups did not mention the derby, but that “the general discussion had already taken place in the Chamber”.
Guido Crosetto must now wait for the reopening of the debates on Friday, where the senators will continue their discussions.
